In this laid-back, dealer’s choice episode, Mark Podolsky, Scott Bossman, Mike Zaino, and Jon Burnett open the floor to live land investing questions from the community. With no script and no guardrails, the team tackles real-world scenarios—from fences blocking easements and lost deeds to dialing in mailers, hiring intake managers, and handling competitive markets.
The big takeaway? In land investing, almost every problem is solvable.

TIP OF THE WEEK
Mark Podolsky: Almost every land problem is solvable—lean on your community, stay calm, and look for creative solutions before walking away from a deal.
Scott Bossman: Consistency wins. A steady rhythm of daily mail—like 20 offers a day—keeps deal flow predictable and profitable.
Mike Zaino: Hire an intake manager who can build rapport and listen deeply—most sellers need a land therapist as much as they need a buyer.
Jon Burnett: Don’t “set it and forget it” when delegating—review calls, train consistently, and stay engaged to keep momentum strong.
